Description

Death comes to us all - but what happens after that? It's a question which has become newly poignant during the last year. Forced to face up to the inevitability of death, Alison Morgan decided to take a critical look at all the views on offer. Now available in digital format, this book offers a clear account of her journey and helps us to form our own conclusions on this most difficult of questions.First published in 1995 and translated into Chinese in 2007, What Happens When We Die? has helped thousands of people to find a new and life-changing confidence as they face up to the reality of death.Starting with ancient ideas on death and the afterlife, the book explores the teaching of the major world religions, considers near-death, psychic and paranormal experiences, and examines the case for reincarnation. The strengths of the various religious claims are then tested by reference to the character of the prophets of each tradition, and this is followed by an objective summary of the evidence for the resurrection of Jesus. Alison, who had begun her journey as an atheist, brings everything together by sharing her decision to place her faith in the Christian hope - it is, she concludes, the only one which seems to stand up to rigorous examination.
